Page 92 of Falling Into Gravity

“You better catch me, too,” she murmured, the corner of her mouth twitching in a lazy, dangerous smile.

“I will…but let me see you catch that nut,” Malik’s voice dropped into a thick, hungry growl. His hand slid down underthe sheet, gripping the base of his dick. “This shit hella hard right now.”

“Oh, yeah?” Her brows lifted, tongue flicking out to wet her lips. Her eyes dropped low like she could see it through the phone. “Show me.”

He spit in his hand to lubricate his throbbing dick. The camera panned down smooth, giving her every blessed inch. His dick stood tall in his palm - thick, dark, and glistening already from precum. Veins stretched along the side, twitching with need.

“Shit, Aku…” he hissed, stroking slow. “You got me feelin’ like I’m ‘bout to bust just hearin’ your voice.”

She leaned back against the pillows, phone propped up, as her other hand slid between her legs. Her nails, almond-shaped and white-tipped, disappeared between her folds before spreading her pussy wide open. Wet, glistening, and already pulsing like it knew his name.

“This what you do to me, Malik,” she said, voice syrupy sweet with a filthy undertone. She dipped two fingers in deep and moaned, holding them up to the screen, coated and dripping. “My pussy so fuckin’ wet for you.”

He groaned, dick jerking in his grip.

“You see that?” she teased, eyes heavy, breath quickening. “You got my shit creamy, baby.”

Malik licked his lips, his grip tightening as his hips started to move on instinct. “I’d eat the fuck outta you right now. You know that, right? Have your legs shakin’, tongue so deep in your shit you’d be cryin’ for real.”

She whimpered, rubbing her clit in slow, torturous circles. “Say it again…”

“I’d have you screamin’ into that pillow,” he growled. “Face down, back arched. My dick buried so deep you’d feel it in your fuckin’ throat.”

“Malik,” she gasped, fingers moving faster now. “Baby, I’m…fuck…almost there.”

“Good,” he grunted, pumping faster, muscles tense, eyes locked on her like he could reach through the screen and finish the job himself. “Let that shit go. I wanna hear you cum for me.”

Her thighs started to shake. Her breath caught. And then?—

“Ohhh fuck, Malik!” she moaned, body arching, legs quivering as she came hard, loud and sweet and soaked in desire.

He followed right after, biting his lip, eyes rolling back as he let loose, cum painting his stomach as he let out a rough, deep groan that hit her in the core.

They were both panting now…silent and spent, and smiling.

That kind of peace? Only existed with them. Even when they were dirty.

Especiallywhen they were dirty.

chapter 17

. . .

While Aku was wrappedin her family’s warmth and gumbo leftovers in Emerald City, Malik was right back in the Crescent—neck deep in the grind that never let up.

By 9 a.m., the block was already open. Babies crying, lawn sprinklers hissing, and the occasional crack of dice hitting concrete rang out like a neighborhood heartbeat. Malik stood in front of the house in a white tee damp with sweat, basketball shorts hanging low, and his braids tied back with a blue durag. He was on the porch tightening the screws on an old bike one of the little homies had brought over, just ‘cause he needed to keep his hands busy. That, and Granny had threatened to pop him upside the head if she caught him pacing the kitchen floor again.

“You fixin’ bikes now?” his Mama called from inside, voice drifting through the screen door.

He grunted, “Nothin’ else to do.”

She leaned out with her morning coffee, brow raised. “Boy, you got a whole damn app makin’ noise on the internet. And you out here playin’ mechanic?”

Malik didn’t respond. Just adjusted the seat again and passed the kid a ten dollar bill for his patience. Then he wipedhis hands on his shorts and lit a blunt behind the bushes, out of sight from his Granny’s window.

He was smoking now—had to do something since Aku took his pills away. Not literally but her words mattered to him.

Truth was, he ain’t been right since Aku left and it was only day three.
